From: Kanji Moder (kanji_moder@yahoo.com) Subject: [PW!] Walk into my arms Newsgroups: alt.games.nintendo.pokemon Date: 2001-07-27 20:05:54 PST In our last story... Mary and Shikaku seemed to be getting some work done in fine tuning his fighting skills and rediscovering his old passion. It seems, however, something more is coming in between the two. -- <Recap> "......yes, you did." Shikaku was on the ground, clutching his testicles in pain. "Guess I don't know my own strength, eh? Let's go inside, I think this is enough for today. You won that one." She winked at Shikaku as she went inside. He slowly got up and walked inside. "She knows exactly what she's doing," Shikaku thought. "It's aggravating, sometimes. Only two more weeks of it. I'm going to miss her." <End Recap> As Shikaku walked in, the sweet aroma of white plum filled his nostrils. Mary was sitting on the edge of the couch feeding seeds to Shikaku's Murkrow, who was perched up on the arm rest. "So, you want me to fix you something for lunch?" Mary's words were spoken softly as she sat up and walked into the kitchen. "What? Since when have you wanted to make me lunch?" Shikaku was certainly confused. "And since when have there been any feelings for me other than those of disgust?" "Hey, don't jump the gun. You earned it, you bested me in combat today." She smiled. "That was fun." "I see. Well, just make a double batch of whatever you're making yourself, I guess. I'm not picky." "Can do. Hope you like ramen noodles." Mary opened the the pantry doors and pulled out some noodles. "Hey, my favorite." He watched her as she began to prepare the meal. "By the way, thanks." "Huh? Oh, no problem. Like I said, you've earned it..." She smiled and continued. "No, not just the food..I mean..The past few weeks you've done a lot to help me out, and you've been patient even when I was being an asshole." "Well, there's more reason to my patience with you than you'll find out...right now, at least." "There's something I gotta tell you." She turned around as he spoke. "It can wait until after lunch, though." She turned back around and continued to cook. During lunch, they had a conversation about many different things, ranging from their times with Team Rocket, to their childhood, weaponry, and pokemon training. All in all, they found themselves talking for three hours about different things. "So..you said you wanted to tell me something?" Mary looked to the ground as she mentioned this. They were both sitting on the couch. "Oh, yeah...well, this might be a little hard to say." He was really nervous, and she just sat there and smiled. "The past few weeks, y'know..you've helped me out a lot. I've been trying hard and stuff, too, not just because I want to keep my job persay, I guess because I wanted to impress you. I just wanted to let you know that I'm gonna miss you when this is all over." "That's really...sweet of you." She smiled uncomfortably. "There's more. I'm...really attracted to you. I have been since we met, but this is different. You aren't just some chick that I met that I wanted to get in bed. You treat me like I'm an actual human being, not just some asshole guy. And I know that...you probably won't ever love me, but you treat me like a person, and I'll always be thankful for that. Pl--" Shikaku was interupted when Mary kissed him. She caught him totally offguard. Eventually, they broke the kiss. "..wow..." "You know...ever since that second day of training or two...there's something about you. You ran the 100 meters in 9 seconds, which is unheard of. Physically, you're perfect, but I didn't think so as far as your personality was concerned. Until you just told me that. You were wrong, Shikaku. I do love you." She grimaced. "Physically...you're untouchable...but I've been wondering something..." Slowly, she moved her hand from his face...downward. The next morning... Mary and Shikaku lay in bed close to each other. She was sleeping, but he was awake, watching her. He caressed her cheek as she smiled. She opened her eyes slowly. "Good morning..." Shikaku looked into her eyes. "Morning..." She got closer to Shikaku. "Did you dream about me?" "Every second." His words brought a smile to her face. The two quit training a week and a half later. Mary decided that Shikaku didn't need to train, as he had surpassed her several fold. However, she planned to go to the Team Rocket headquarters and ask for more time with him. He had shown her a new side to life, and she wished to stay with him a little bit longer before she had to bring the new person up. Team Rocket HQ "Is everything prepared?" A rocket exec. type spoke to a lesser rocket in dark hall. "Yes, sir. Mary is coming right now to give us the update on Shikaku." The lesser rocket bowed down. "Excellent." He cackled maniacally. "Excellent." What? Something's happening to Mary? First off, like you give a fuck. Second of all, yes, I know this story was horribly written. So have the past two stories. Don't worry. the next one should be better. Lots of fucking surprises. =D -- Kanji Moder - The ONLY damned Murkrow fan AIM - Kanji Moder E-mail - kanji_moder@yahoo.com 2 AAA Points (Thanks Andrew...I think?) 10 BBB Points Apparantly I had more, but I forgot I was in BBB.
